Question about a small infection

Hello, I have a question about a small infection I have along my incision line below my left breast. I am 7 weeks PO and want to know if anyone else had a similar problem. I had a small red bump on my incision line that sort of popped this morning when I was geting dressed. It oozed blood and puss (sorry for the visual). I thought I should be more healed by now! I put gauze over it as per my PS, but I am still worried. Any other suggestions? Thanks!!!!

It is most likely just the internal stitches surfacing.

Yes it is probably a stitch, salt water i found kept the infection away, but it does need to be removed. Talk to yur PS for advise.

If it is an infection you definately went to check with your doctor. You will need antibiotics to treat an infection.
